Speech by Geert Wilders at the "Europe of Nations and Freedom" Conference

Hello Germany. Is everything alright? I'm doing well.
Yesterday a new America, today Koblenz and tomorrow a new Europe!
It's really a great honor for me to be here today in the beautiful
city of Koblenz, at a meeting of the ENF Group, in the presence of so
many German patriots.

And what you stand for is extremely important. Not only for Germany, but for all of Europe.
Europe needs a strong Germany, a self-confident Germany, a proud
Germany, a Germany that stands for its culture, identity and
civilization.

Europe needs Frauke [Petry], instead of Angela [Merkel]!

My friends, that is why Germany is so great. Why you are great.
Because you do your duty. And the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and my
friend Frauke Petry, and all of you here, stand against the new
totalitarianism that threatens us today.
We are at the beginning of a Patriotic Spring across Europe, and also
here in Germany. And I thank you for that. You are the new Germany.

And all our European countries are faced with the question of their
existence. My friends, the United Nations expects that the population of
Africa will quadruple by the end of the century -- from 1.1 billion
today, to 4.4 billion. Studies show that in Southern Africa, one in
three adults wants to emigrate. And in North Africa and the Middle East,
one in five wants to emigrate. Many of them want to come to Europe in
the future.

The question that none of our ruling politicians now ask is: How do
we protect our country and our identity against mass immigration? How do
we protect our values?
How do we protect our civilization? Our culture? The future of our
children? These are the fundamental questions we have to answer.

In recent years, our governments have allowed millions of people to
flow uncontrollably into our countries. Our governments have conducted a
dangerous open-borders policy.
And I know, as do you, that when the citizens of Eastern Europe
defeated communism in 1989, they were inspired by Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, Vaclav Havel, Vladimir Bukovski and others, who told them
that people have the right, but also a commitment, to "live in the
truth."
Friends, liberty requires eternal vigilance. And this applies also to
the truth. And Solzhenitsyn added that -- I quote -- "truth seldom is
sweet; it is almost invariably bitter."

And let us hear the bitter truth: Our leaders have lost their ability
to recognize danger and understand the truth, because they no longer
value freedom.
Politicians from almost all of the established parties are promoting
our Islamization. Almost the entire Establishment, the elite
universities, the churches, the media, politicians, put our hard-earned
liberties at risk.
They talk about equality, but, incredibly, are incapable of seeing
that in Islam, women have fewer rights than men, and infidels have fewer
rights than the followers of Islam.

They are blind to the truth -- but we are not! And we do not accept
that they are blind to the truth. We no longer accept that the elites
have abandoned the people.
It breaks my heart when I see that people have become strangers in their own land -- almost everywhere in Europe.

But it is our country; it's not their country -- it's our country.
And it is unacceptable that you fear for the future of your children,
that women are afraid, that Jews, ex-Muslims, Christians fear for their
safety.

Day after day, for years, we are experiencing the decay of our
cherished values. The equality of men and women, freedom of opinion and
speech, tolerance of homosexuality -- all this is in retreat.

And I say to you, my friends: We do not want this. We do not want
Germany or any other country in Europe to abolish itself! We don't want
that!
We want our homeland to remain our homeland.
We want to stay who we are!
We are secure, free, democratic, proud of our culture!
My friends, what we see today is that fear reigns. Many people are
desperate. Our rulers are cowardly. Our security is disappearing; our
freedom is in danger.
And many normal people are afraid to say what they think. Women are afraid to show their blonde hair.
And this charade must be stopped! More and more people demand this! We demand this!
And I tell you: Enough is enough!
And then there is also the great danger of Islamic terrorism.

A German undercover journalist recently revealed that some refugee
housing centers have become breeding-grounds for terrorists. The
consequences are visible to everyone.

Recall the massacre at the Berlin Christmas market. Remember also the
black summer of terror last year, here in Germany. We also remember
Cologne and the mass assaults of hundreds of innocent women.

And yet our governments fail to do anything. But if we do nothing, we cease to exist.
Some immigrants have come here with entirely different values.
This is a fact -- not a political fact, but a fact confirmed by
scientists such as the Dutch Professor Ruud Koopmans, from Humboldt
University in Berlin. His investigations showed that about half of all
Muslims in Germany aspire to the roots of Islam.
Professor Koopmans also says that -- I quote -- "of a billion Muslims
worldwide, between ten and twenty percent are willing to accept
violence, even against civilians, to defend Islam." End of quotation.

But despite all these terrible warnings, our rulers refuse to see the elephant in the room.
The people are fed up with the political correctness of the elites! Are you fed up, or are you not fed up?
We are fed up with the elites, who offer you a beautiful ideal world, in which all cultures are morally equivalent.
The people demand -- we demand -- the truth!
And we must tell them the truth, because people have a right to the truth!
Because the people should not be abandoned.

We, here, are the hope of the people! And we will never disappoint them! Never!
You may have heard that the Dutch government is trying to silence me.
But I say to you, I will never shut up!
I am on many death-lists just because they hate me, because I criticize Islam, and because I am a friend of Israel.

But I will never be silent, despite all the threats from politicians and terrorists.
For the free expression of opinions is, my friends, the basis of democracy.
There is, however, much positive news. There is reason for hope.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Better times will come. The
wind started to shift last year. It brought us the victory of -- and
from here, congratulations to -- Donald Trump, the President of the
United States.
But not only in America. We also see it here in Germany, the
Netherlands, France, Italy, Austria, throughout Europe: The patriots are
winning. The time for a change has come. And that is why, my friends,
it gives me tremendous courage to see you all here today.

This room full of German patriots shows me something very important. It shows me that Germany is not lost!
It shows me that Germany will survive!
You are a good force. The force that brings this beautiful country
back on the right path. On the path to a patriotic future. A secure
future. A free future. Our future!
History calls on you to save Germany. History calls on us all to save
Europe. To save our own humanistic Judeo-Christian culture and
civilization, our liberties, our nations, the future of our children.
And we have no choice. We will do it.

My party, the PVV in the Netherlands; Frauke Petry and Marcus Pretzell
and the AfD here in Germany; Marine Le Pen and Front National in France
-- and yes, Marine Le Pen will be the next president of France!
But, naturally, also Hans-Christian Strache and Harald Vilimsky and the FPÖ, our friends in Austria.
Tom van Grieken and Gerolf Annemans and our friends from the Vlaams Belang in Flanders.
And all the other politicians.

But I tell you, we politicians are not important here. It's not about us. It's about you; it's about the voters.
It's about the people here in this room, and also the millions throughout the country -- not we, but you are important.
You are the true heroes and the saviors of Europe. And I thank you for that.
Our parties give the people an opportunity to vote for good patriots.
Patriots who want to make our borders safe again! Patriots who want to
stop mass immigration! Patriots who want to restore the sovereignty of
our countries, our money, our laws and our future.

We are fed up with the Europhiles in Brussels, who want to abolish
our countries and impose an undemocratic super-state, in which we become
a single multicultural society.
To this Europe we say no!We stand for a Europe of national states and freedom!
We will take our countries back. We will make sure that our countries will stay ours.
My friends, this year will be the year of the people!
The year when the voice of the people finally will be heard!
The year of a democratic and nonviolent political revolution in Europe.
The year of liberation!
The year of the Patriotic Spring!
In two months, next March, we will give the Dutch people the chance
to free the Netherlands! And next April, Marine, as I already said, will
be the next president of France!
And next autumn it's your turn, my dear German friends. I am absolutely
convinced that with Frauke Petry, the future of Germany is guaranteed.
Long live the German Spring!

And I tell you: We will liberate ourselves. We will make our countries great again! We can do it!
Everywhere in Europe, we are electing new and courageous politicians
who serve the interests of the people. And together we will win!
My friends, we live in historic times.
The people of the West are awakening. They are casting off the yoke of political correctness.
They want their freedom back.
They want their sovereign nations back.
And we, the patriots of Europe, will be their instrument of liberation!
Long live freedom!
Long live The Netherlands!
Long live Germany!
Long live the Alternative for Germany!
Thank you.

Geert Wilders is a member of the Dutch Parliament and leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV).
